Like all other Web servers, BPN's Web server automatically creates log files for each visitor who accesses the BPN Web Site. These "access logs" allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors.

BPN also uses 'cookies' to collect information. A cookie is a string of characters that can be written to a file on the user's hard drive when the user visits a Web site. Only the Web site that set the cookie can read it, and it can only be used as a record keeping device to store user IDs and information that the site already has. It cannot be used to read other information from the user's hard drive.

BPN uses cookies to track users' activity through the site in order to improve the site's architecture, to offer the user interactive features that would not be possible without them, and to recall specific information to save the user time during subsequent visits to the site. For example, cookies allow BPN to remember your registration information while you are logged in. BPN and other interactive features also use cookies, as does third party  advertisers and vendors that measure and analyze the use of the BPN Web Site for BPN.

BPN and the third party vendors that measure and analyze use of the BPN Web site for BPN also may use web beacons, alone or in conjunction with cookies, to help compile information about and facilitate usage of the BPN Web Site, including usage of certain API Content.

We may use web beacons on this site from time to time for this and other purposes.
